Verizon is down in California and in the midwest.

Uh oh. Verizon is slowly turning into AT&T it seems. Ha, just kidding. Verizon is reported down in all of California and in the midwest (Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio). Supposedly they are saying a 6 hour ETA for when it will be restored. Did you really think them merging with Alltel was going to go smoothly?

Fallen, broken. Simply dissolved into an incomplete thought.
An empty shell, cracked, and disfigured. With no remorse,
I have been blinded by the darkness. With no disdain,
I have received my punishment. And with no haste, I await them.
